What happens here
The user then moves to a second location with an existing PVC nipple and cap. He removes the existing cap to convert it from a capped line to a drip emitter. He applies thread sealant to the PVC nipple, then attaches the micro-irrigation adapter (drip emitter connection) and cap to the nipple. The existing micro-irrigation tubing is prepared by cutting a fresh end and heated with a torch to make it pliable, then pushed onto the barb fitting of the micro-irrigation adapter. This ensures a secure and watertight connection for the second drip line.
Goal: Replace the cap on a second valve and reconnect its micro-irrigation line using the same technique.
